2. it has to do with the Gun Control Act

which is a federal law, and there is still a federal pot ban. Gun dealers have a federal license and robbing one is a federal crime. Legalize pot on the federal level, it becomes a nonissue. If the executive branch simply changes it from schedule one to, say, schedule for or five it might also work.

Many critics of the GCA, including a writer for The Nation whose name escapes me at the moment, thought it had to do with black control instead of crime control. Most of the gun restrictions that were passed in the 1920s that are eroding were exactly that.
lying on this form is punishable up to ten years.
